I started Forge, which is an open-source, free project that lets you play Magic: The Gathering against the computer. Currently other people are updating Forge and there will be no more posts to this blog.

Updated Beta

There is a new beta version of MTG Forge with 869 cards. The only reason I call it beta, is because not all the card pictures download yet. Checkout my new Black Vise W/U control deck here.

2. You can now import and export decks using the deck editor. When you export a deck it is saved to a file and someone else can import that deck into MTG Forge and use it. (There are probably a few errors lurking, but it seems to work. This code actually worked the first time and anytime you write around 100 lines of code and it works perfectly, it is unusual to say the least.)

3. Fixed: Shadow creatures being able to block non-shadow creatures.

4. Fixed: Regenerated creatures now become tapped.

5. Fixed: Sometimes you would draw more than 1 card.

6. Fixed: River Merfolk, its activated ability cost 0 and the computer would go into an infinite loop.

When you introduced slivers, you called it the sliver edition. So now that you introduced Black Vice, you should call this the Black Vise edition, due to the enormous impact this card has on the gameplay in MTG Forge.In the current cardpool of MTG forge, I would consider Black Vise the most "broken" card of all.(Not that this will stop me from using it. Oh, no!)This game just keeps getting better and better!Well done!

I'm new to all this blog stuff. I recently downloaded MTG Forge and it plays wonderfully - however it does not have all the cards. Is this how the game is or can I add more cards to it? - Sorry, don''t know much
